dvi connection problem

[gavinaztec]

Hi

I have got a MSI geforce 6800 gt which has got a DVI-I Single Link connection. The problem is that my monitor (lg flatron L1730p) has got a DVI-D Single Link connection. I was wondering if anyone know's of anywhere I can get hold of a cable which I can use to link these up to a DVI connection?

I have searched google and yahoo looking at various websites with no joy.

Thanks in advance

Gav.

Also I seem to get really bad tearing in games like doom 3 and far cry, do you think that this is because I am using the analogue converter or could it be something else?

erm...

dvi-i is a connector which has pins for dvi-d (the banks of 9 pins in square arrangements), and for vga (the plus-shaped bit and the pins next to it) with an adapter

what you want is any bog standard dvi cable, such as http://komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=108966&cks=SER

try changing the drivers too, my iiyama 431 and galaxy 6800 had this problem with video and the 66.93 drivers, but stopped with the newer sets

Thanks for the replys, realised before I read these post this morning that I was being an adiot

I thought that an dvi-d socket wouldn't fit with an dvi-i cable! Also I enabled v-sinc which sorted out my tearing problems!

Thanks again!
